“It is time for action,” proclaimed Israel’s UN Ambassador, Danny Danon. Danon was addressing a UN conference on antisemitism with one aim: to smash it and stop its rising tide. Danon continued: “The words ‘Never Again’ were not meant to be a slogan. They were meant to be a commitment. Words, declarations and statements are not enough to fight the rising antisemitism on the streets, in synagogues, in universities and even here at the United Nations.”

A few days after this conference, another initiative was launched with the same aim, only this time by former Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Sylvan Adams, president of World Jewish Congress Israel. Both men called for Israel to utilise various strategies and resources to defend itself and Jewish people from rising antisemitism.

I have no doubt that these initiatives will have some impact........
